        I won't be surprise if many say she is not Muslim enough or she is already westernized but that's what the Arabian world need, a change in perception and approach. Congratulations to her

        Thank God for U.S, this will never happen in their country of origin. I hope the extremist and bigots thinking they can do it all learn from this and give women the chance to try their hands on the change that has eluded men for generations
